fairstoneclients.com (Clone of FCA Authorised Firms) has been flagged on the SARFund registry as a reported clone-of-a-real-exchange front. Victim submissions describe a familiar pattern: an initial small deposit that “performs”, followed by escalating top-ups and a final wall when withdrawal is requested.

Across the verified submissions, three red flags repeat: the broker demanded “tax” or “verification” fees before withdrawal, rebranded under multiple domains in succession, and promised guaranteed returns. None of these are unique to fairstoneclients.com (Clone of FCA Authorised Firms) — they are the structural fingerprint of this scam typology.

Public chatter on Reddit victim threads, TrustPilot complaints and Quora question threads shows the same recurring complaint structure: deposits go in, dashboard “earnings” appear, withdrawal requests trigger fee demands, and contact eventually goes silent.

What evidence helps most

Transaction hashes (the on-chain proof of your deposit), screenshots of the broker dashboard, KYC documents you submitted, and full conversation history with any account manager. These four pieces let the partner build a defensible chain of custody.
